I didn't change the main tomcat script. The startup script that is
located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat set some variables. Mine start
with this:
     JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.8
     export JAVA_HOME
     JAVACMD="nice -5 $JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
     export JAVACMD
     TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
     export TOMCAT_HOME
